This morning I ran the Kaleen block before going to meet Mr B and CJ for brekkie. I stayed on the main lit paths and wore my headlamp as well to ensure I didn't lose my footing! I have made the decision to run in my older running shoes as I noticed a few twinges while stretching after training in my new shoes on Monday night. So, hopefully I'm making the right decision and my feet won't suffer too much. I guess it's better to be safe than sorry. I'll wear the others in the Canberra Half Marathon in May.

Today I started carbo loading - jam sandwiches, jelly snakes, yoghurt, gatorade, rice, lots of vegies as part of the plan. I already feel rather bloated at the end of day one of three.
Mangiare troppi carboidrati e sarete grassi per la maratona!!
ReplyDeleteI vecchi pattini sono buoni!
You do know to increase the proportion of carbohydrate in the diet, not the volume?
ReplyDeleteTapering, Carbo Loading and Hydration, but don't overdo the water intake before the run.

Hi from Boston, Strewth. I have had trouble getting access to good quality carbos here and am envious of what you are getting. I will be thinking of you on Sunday.
